Dinner at J's
Summary: delicious!
We had reservations for 8:00, and it turns out we were the last table to be seated, and the last to leave at closing. They put us in a semiprivate room in their converted farmhouse, but there was no one at the other table so it was private.
After some negotiation, so that we were ordering different things, we had:
Exotic Mushroom Fondue with Gouda (wine: Baldwin Apple)
Wild Game Charcuterie plate (wine: Maiden's Blush)
Shellfish Cassoulet (wine: Dry Pear)
Long Island Duck (wine: Semi-sweet Blueberry)
Molten Chocolate Cake (shared) (wine: Plum)
It's a pity that the chef at J's so often takes vacation just at the times when we have special occasions, since every meal we get there for is so lovely.
